<span>Chromated copper arsenate, or CCA, is a pesticide that has been used for years in pressure-treating lumber to prevent destruction from rot and insects. Arsenic, a toxic chemical, can leach from this treated wood, leaving residues on the wood’s surface and in nearby soil. Young children who play on or near decks or playscapes made from CCA- treated wood can get arsenic on their skin and into their bodies, especially if they eat or drink without washing their hands.

The continents we know today were previously clumped together in a super continent called Pangea.
Anna35 [415]
For hundreds of millions of years, all the land of Earth was joined together in one large mass or super continent. Scientists call it Pangaea (meaning “all lands” in Greek). Then about 200 million years ago the land began to drift apart. It broke into two pieces, and scientists have called the continent in the north Laurasia and the continent in the south Gondwanaland (named by Eduard Suess, an Austrian geologist).  The two large continents continued to break apart into the smaller continents that exist today. Scientists call this movement ‘continental drift’.
